OW2 ASM and JEP 457: Class-File API

In version 22 of JDK, the inclusion of Class-File API (JEP 457) as a preview feature is proposed. The new API is intended to replace the well-known OW2 ASM library, which allows working with compiled Java classes at a very low level.

We will recall the notable tasks that this library solves, such as creating new classes for Spring Framework and Hibernate. We will consider some examples of Java and Kotlin static code analysis using the existing OW2 ASM library and the new Class-File API.
